Nowadays is modern world with high technology development the children should know about computer because computer is one of tool to work in their future.

Besides the advantage, computer has the disadvantage for children, they are:

• Children will imitate negative things from computer as like violence and can practice it to their friend or other people.
• If children always play computer they will be lazy to do their homework.
